Ok I was thinking about this for a while well over a year. First I was thinking about a 3SGTE swap then chose thought a 4AGZE swap would be more economical. Now I see that a turbo set up is the way to go (for me at least), because of price, availability.
Yea a lot of people might say that if I can take the 3g’s that I’m going to spend on a turbo setup and just do an engine swap. Yea I don’t think so. I’m taking a page out the playbook of those crazy corolla guys. For some reason the love the 7afe engine and I found out why. They have been boosting then 7afe to 280 hp on stock internals. I have found a few sites that have everything I need to do that too.
280 hp from a turbo


What do you some of ya’ll think about his?

Im with macavely in the sense of screw a motor swap. I know alot of you are hardcore 3sgte fans but for me and my GT the burien T-kit will do just fine to lay out 170whp(intercooled). Im not looking for drag but i wanna kick ass. I say to macavely do what you can and if you blow the motor go to E-bay and get another, youll never know the limits with out some complications. Im doing the T-kit and I really dont care about about a swap, ctually the more I think about it it pointless. If you want a 3sgte why not get the real thing. Youll spend close to the same on it with the price of your car plus the swap. But anyway thats my opinion.
Peace

thanks for the support... and one of my uncles works at a toyota dealership so i'm sure he can get me a nice disconunt on and engine if i need it..
